Hi, thanks for this informative post.
I'd be interested in what a typical day of eating looks like for you, as well as supplementation.
Many thanks in advance.[/QUO
No typical day really as it varies with the seasons somewhat, hot months vs cold months. I just started by adding more raw fats and proteins and eating less cooked ones. I added the raw eggs as a mid morning and/or mid afternoon snack, replacing stuff like leftovers, bread, oatmeal, pretzels, fruit, smoothies, etc etc. Started doing lightly cooked ribeye steaks and rare hamburgers, 2 or 3 x per week. Sometimes, I'll eat nothing but some Green papaya, unripe mango and eggs for breakfast and lunch. On a recent cruise, I ate a raw herring a few times, ceviche, beef carpaccio, seared tuna steak, tuna poke, rare beef and rare lamb. I d estimate that I try to eat raw or lightly cooked about 60 to 70% of the time. Get away from it for awhile and energy goes down and Ill get sluggish. I'll eat some cooked foods, mainly some cooked vegetables, and some raw ones in the hot weather months. I stay away from sweet fruits for the most part as well as most bread, pasta, starchy stuff like sweet potato in only small amounts. Optimal is probably about 90% raw but Ive never done it for one reason or another. I like meats that are on the fatty side, like ribeye or lamb and eat small amounts, maybe 6/8 ozs or so at a time. Ill use some raw honey for sweetener from time to time.
Supplements. I don't take many on a regular basis. The biggest problem we have here is what's added to the water like flouride and chlorine. I'll take some lugols iodine drops from time to time, which seems to push the flouride out of the thyroid. Borax, about 100 mg from time to time, known to neutralize and remove flouride. I take zinc about 22 mg. and occaisionally, ascorbic acid and sea salt. Ive used 1000 mg Gaba before bedtime for a great night of sleep. I can probably do fine without any but thats the supplements that I actually use.
